Installing the Ranger HDFS Plug-in
The Ranger HDFS plug-in helps to centralize HDFS authorization policies.
This section describes how to create an HDFS repository and install the HDFS plug-in.
Install the HDFS Plug-in
Create a Ranger HDFS policy using the instructions in Create an HDFS Policy in the Hadoop Security Guide.
Make a note of the name you gave to this repository; you will need to use it again during HDFS plug-in setup.
At all servers where NameNode is installed, install the HDFS plug-in by following the steps listed below:
Go to the home directory of the HDFS plug-in:
cd /usr/hdp/<version>/ranger-hdfs-plugin
Edit the following HDFS-related properties in the install.properties file:
